Valli Argentina e Armea.
The valleys behind Sanremo and Taggia, where the Armea and Argentina rivers flow, are covered by luxuriant nature that changes as you ascend from the sea to the highest peaks: from maquis, to dense forests of chestnuts and beeches, to the mountain firs. On the hills, farmed in strips, stand thousands of olive trees that produce the famous olive taggiasche (olives of Taggia) and the hamlets with the typical houses arranged in clusters. The two valleys offer local flavors, traditions, festivals, and the signs of an ancient agropastoral civilization that has left behind small stone houses, shepherd's homes scattered along the transhumance routes of long ago, and domestic objects preserved in the museums.

Both inside and outside the places of memory, there are clear traces of the presence of pirates and witches who were persecuted here during the Inquisition. The communities of Triora and Badalucco revive their memories with vivid murals and a fascinating museum dedicated to these singular townswomen and their magic arts.
